Thread: bandsaw Height

Yes, I know they come in boxes....Carbatec reckon they are 1.8m long and that is too long for the back of my car so I need to know the Toatal height and whether the base can be removed.
Alf

ps. please dont suggest I ask Carba-tec.

Take the ute with a large trailer. Never know what else you may buy.

Sell Forester, keep ute, buy trailer & more tools.

Sell both cars, buy lots of tools and have them freighted back

Hi Alf take the ute and you carry more and freely,
If you need a hand I'll be around most 'o friday and mebbe Saturday depending on elasticity of the Visa.

Seriously the Ute sounds the better option but not as comfortable a ride on the long haul from Albany.
Looks as though the base is definately removable looking at the Carba-tec catalogue with 4 bolts mounting the upper portion to the base,no height given only a total weight of 70kg.

Cheers

Maybe not much use to you but I brought home a SBW3501 in the back of my Forrester a few years ago.

Although there was plenty of room left, couldn't put much else in because SWMBO was with me and discouraged me from purchasing anything else.

Therefore, if you want to buy more than the bandsaw, take the ute less SWMBO.

Alf,
I bought a BAS 350 bandsaw at the recent Carbatec sale. It was already assembled and on display. I dismantled it off the base via the four bolts. I have a Pajero, and it easily fitted with the back seat folded down. I am away from home right now so I am sorry I can not measure the o/all height of the top section.
Hope this helps.
BTW the saw works great, but I am still learning to use it.

Perhaps Alf plans to stand the box upright! Alf, think laterally - lie the box down!

In jest (and in Perth)

Geez Stoppers (Stoopers - how low can you go?),

First poor old Stinky cops it about his polls and now Forester owners.

She isn't the fastest, she won't go where the big 4WDs go but not as many speeding tickets, not as much damage in some remote place, not as expensive to service and not as expensive to purchase this equals saving of $$$$'s.

Saving money doesn't really happen so what I saved on the car I spent on good tools which made me spend more money on more tools and now the new shed to house my tools - see how much money I have saved???

I might just go to a gardening forum like Stinky and sulk also.

Maybe I might just hang in here I suppose this sort of abuse doesn't impair my vision.

Hi Alf,
The 1800 dimension that Carbatec gave you would certainly be the overall assembled height. The base is 500 or 600 high, so the longest piece for cartage is say 1200 mm.
I will be back home at the weekend and will run the tape over my BAS 350 and confirm.

Good Luck

Hi Alf,

My first post. I have been lurking as a guest browser for 12 months.
I bought a BAS 350 at the Sydney WWW Show last month.
The carton is appros 120cm long by 40cm square.
Easily fitted into the back of a Falcon wagon.
The weight 70kg was a back busting problem, as I live in a house with SWMBO and 3 teenage daughters, so assembly was my problem.
It is a great saw, have sawn and resawn 100 x100 jarrah with ease.
Just make sure you spend a good two hours tuning after assembly.

don't underestimate the girls.

Mymate dave had two boys & two girls close together.

the girls did better at manual arts and it was the girls that helped dad with those big speaker box deliveries.

Hi Alf, Have you solved your problem with the 350 yet? If not, I live quite close to Carbatec and am quite willing to run a tape over one of their 350's on the floor to give you the longest part that u have to reckon with. I take it that you want to unpack the box .........that way you can leave it and the polystyrene in Perth and take more tools back with you!
Have fun turning n turning n turning

Thanks G
I found out I can take the base off to transport it.
Now that i've gone thro all that I'll probably buy a different one!!!!
